Five of pentacles. 688 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:27,040 Dropping that money. Oh no! Is it not good? Yeah, the five of pentacles is that's throwing away 689 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:34,800 money. That's misleading. Oh! Look at the... Can you see that? Oh, that's right. I do remember that one. 690 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:40,080 Wasn't that a Christmas episode too? That we got that. It was the train wreck one. I don't know if 691 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,760 that was Christmas, maybe it was the train wreck snowy one. Yeah. That is okay. So it's a snowy 692 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:52,080 car. That's interesting. Maybe it just relates to this episode, you know? Oh my god, it does. 693 00:31:52,080 --> 00:32:00,480 Okay. I found it already. Often this car depicts a couple or a family in an attitude of humility, 694 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:08,720 poverty or hardship. Their desperation and suffering are evident. Sometimes a stained glass 695 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:17,680 church window appears above them, which indicates emphasizing spiritual values over material ones. 696 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:25,440 Oh, okay. Wow. It's not just a season about stuff. Yeah. That was a big part of this episode, 697 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:35,520 because Krampus represents the commercialization of Christmas. I cannot believe that. You got a 698 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:42,400 Krampus and I got a card that was like, "Hey, maybe don't make everything about stuff." Wow, 699 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:56,320 that's really cool. I love that. There you go. Okay. Oh, I got the lovers. Stop it. We did. That's so fun. 700 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:03,120 It was Christmasy, but yeah, it was technically in reverse when I looked at it, but I just felt like 701 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:08,640 it was in, I flipped it and that's how it was. So it's in upright for me. Okay. In my brain. 702 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:18,000 Lovers, Missilto. I know I feel so bad. I wanted to get some Missilto and I just 703 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:24,720 I thought about it once and it went out of my brain and I forgot my Missilto headband, but I 704 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:30,480 wore that Missilto headband to kiss Krampus in the pictures. It did. That's so cute. 705 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:45,120 All I want for Christmas is Krampus or Krampus. Yeah. Okay. So, oh, this is interesting. Cassie, our key 706 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:55,760 words are partnership union of opposites. Oh, partnership like Santa and Krampus union of opposites. 707 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:05,760 Look at us. I know. We're so witchy. Choices, harmony, cooperation, choices, choice between good 708 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:12,000 and evil. Yeah. Cooperation. Don't be naughty and get beaten by Krampus with sticks. Yeah. 709 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:25,360 Yeah. The lovers card usually shows a man and woman, but they're the similarities and in some 710 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:33,200 decks, they're naked in others, they're clothes. Some decks show the couple touching, even engaged in 711 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:41,920 a passionate embrace, whereas others place them on opposite sides of the card, perhaps with a 712 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:50,320 winged being overlooking them. Alla, garden of Eden. There's that. The winged beings are back. 713 00:34:53,600 --> 00:35:00,640 You'll even find decks that present three people on the card as if a third party who might be a 714 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:09,120 young person or an older parental figure is influencing their relationship like a Krampus card. 715 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:18,720 Oh, or like a child influencing, you know, which is going to be either way. Although many people 716 00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:25,680 interpret this card as representing romantic love, it's really about the union of opposites, 717 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:35,520 your own dual nature. Wow. This is so cool. I love this. That doesn't rule out romance in your future 718 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:43,840 if the lovers shows up in a reading. It just means union has many meanings other than male female 719 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:52,240 coupling. Yeah, it does. And trusting. Okay, so let's do our upright interpretation. I also just 720 00:35:52,240 --> 00:36:02,240 got a flash of Krampus and Santa wrestling. I love that. This is a card of cooperation, of working 721 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:11,840 together with others to accomplish a joint purpose. A joint purpose. You're not even the stoner. 722 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,880 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We're allegedly. We've got some ideas. 723 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:26,240 When it appears upright, it signifies an attraction and partnership of some kind, not only the 724 00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:35,280 romantic variety. It can also suggest you're uniting disparate parts of yourself. The lovers 725 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:42,320 represents a period of harmony in personal or professional matters. Sometimes it indicates 726 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,760 you need to make a choice between two things you value, but you'll make the right decision. 727 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:55,440 Or you'll get dragged to hell. I was like, I'm just going to wait for it. Or put into stew. 728 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:04,960 In a reading about money, you can profit from combining your resources with someone else's. 729 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:17,040 That's amazing. Sometimes the lovers symbolizes benefiting from a partner's money or marrying into 730 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:23,840 wealth. I got this card recently for someone else that I was doing a reading for. And I was like, 731 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:31,680 oh, yeah, you did. If you're seeking a financial backer, this card gives you a thumbs up. 732 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:40,240 If the reading is about your job, this card represents a time of cooperation, contentment, and harmony. 733 00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:46,880 Joint projects are favored now. Two forces have united toward a common goal. 734 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:52,800 The lovers can also signify meeting a partner through work or working through 735 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,560 working with a romantic partner in business. 736 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:10,640 Krampus Santa. Yeah. This is Claus. Watch out. This is Claus. This is Claus. What if Mrs. Claus is crampus? 737 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:20,160 I don't know. Every picture I've seen of her is like a cute little old grandma in disguise. What if she 738 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:29,280 comes out as crampus? I love this conspiracy theory that I just created. She cooked that up right 739 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:36,000 click. That was that's something. Mrs. Claus doesn't even have a first name. You know what I mean? We just 740 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,640 call her Mrs. Claus. We need to look into that. Does she have a first name? Like, is there any mythology 741 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:49,200 there where she is? There's got to be, right? Yeah. I mean in the claymation one where he meets her, 742 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:55,680 she has a name, but I don't remember what it is. Okay. Well, anyway, put a pin in that 743 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:04,160 in a reading about love, this card boats well for a romantic relationship. It shows mutual caring 744 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:11,760 and attraction, a rewarding partnership that brings out the best in both people. Sometimes it means 745 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:22,000 a decision in connection with a love relationship. Yeah. This whole thing is just like, I good versus 746 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:28,000 evil, Krampus, Santa. Like, yeah, their whole relationship. That's so cool. I just realized there's 747 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:36,160 a card on the ground. What? There's a card on the ground. Holy shh. Holy schnitzel. Holy schnitzel. 748 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:42,960 It's the five of presents. So yeah, I'm very curious. I guess it just fell down when I was doing 749 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:49,600 something or other. Five of pinnacles in my... Oh yeah. Oh, is presents pinnacles? What do we decide? 750 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:59,200 I don't remember. That would be weird. I would not be surprised though. Yeah, candles would be ones. 751 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:06,800 Presence would be pinnacles, needle swords, push and scuops. Wow! This is just on the floor. Five 752 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:14,000 five presents. We don't even need to read it because we read it already. Wow. But I don't know when it 753 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:21,200 looks like presents. That is so... Yeah, I cannot believe that. That is really cool. I wonder if you could 754 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:27,920 see it in the video when it fell out. Oh, I don't know. I probably think they're gonna fall off the bottom 755 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:37,680 or something. Yeah, that's so cool. What are the odds that we buy two little tarot readings 756 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:45,840 out through the veil? And one of them looks like crampus. One of them is five of... I pentacles. 757 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:54,880 And then this other five pinnacles drops out. Weird. Okay. People are gonna literally... 758 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:01,440 They're gonna be thinking we're making this up. I just... They watched it. I mean, we didn't... 759 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,720 I'm always afraid that people are gonna be like, "Woooo!" Well, and if you want to see, I pulled this 760 00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:13,200 card out in a video and I put it with the little reel and TikTok I made for the through the veil 761 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,320 episode. Yeah, that's right. And I pulled it out. So that was me literally opening it right there. 762 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,600 I feel like are we gonna have conspiracy theories about our terrestrial beings? I hope so. Can we 763 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:30,240 start a Reddit thread on the conspiracy theory for us? Maybe. I really don't want that because 764 00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:37,360 they're so good. Like they're really right on. I... That's why I want it to be like so above board 765 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:46,480 that people know they're real. Yeah. They do. Oh, this is so cool. I need a candy cane and a nap. 766 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:55,600 Drink. We have to open gifts still. Oh, oh my god. Yeah. So let's end it for normal people. And then 767 00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:02,800 we're gonna continue opening gifts for our Patreon. Okay. Have a creep miss crampus not. 768 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:10,480 With a bunch of ass. There was no ass in there. All the all the Krampus ass. All the ass. 769 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:18,800 Kramp ass. Kramp ass. Kramp ass. How did I put no Kramp ass jokes in my... in my episode? I don't know. 770 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:26,000 I'm sick. That's what happens. I'm surprised this reading turned out so good. How sick I am too. 771 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,840 I know. Well, I shuffle the shit out of those cards. Well, you were... you held this together. Mine 772 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:41,120 was from the past. So past healthy Cassie. Pulled the right card. Well, and this one. Oh, I mean, 773 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:47,600 that was weeks ago. Yeah. Did I pick that for you or you picked it? No, I... I think you... Yeah, you... 774 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:54,320 specifically brought me. Yeah. The bowl of the cards and we're like, pick yours. Yeah.
